This is the study of situations whereby one or several platforms facilitate interactions between users on two different sides of a market. This new method of analysis may encourage some competition authorities and regulators to reconsider the functioning of ICT markets and incite decision-makers to think about the industry strategies to be implemented. |

This issue is devoted almost entirely to the topic of European frequency management policies. For some years now, managing this scarce resource has been the topic not only of lengthy debate but also the focus of works by economists and of considerable innovation in the arena of practical application. The editors have sought to gather original contributions that will provide industry and institutional leaders with food for thought. |

The choice of video games as the central theme is justified by the growth of its various markets. It is no longer a marginal sector in terms of size, nor limited to only a niche population. It is expanding in several directions which are both enhancing it and intertwining it with a number of ICT markets (digital entertainment, Web services, mobile services, e-training, …) – and so helping to further spur the momentum.

This issue offers an opportunity to re-address a topic that combines an examination of the technical and functional characteristics of next-generation networks and questions over the choices that will enable these infrastructures to uphold net neutrality, and for the associated service platforms to be open ones. |

André Malraux said that "cinema is an art form, but it is also an industry". The duality of the cultural industries remains, but is becoming increasingly complex as the digitisation phenomenon undoes the need for physical media. We invite our readers who are especially familiar with the issues of network economics not to stop at the increasingly ambiguous border between the containers and the content, and to take full advantage of these contributions, while also enjoying the regular sections in the journal. |

Since 2006, mobile services have accounted for more than half of the total telecom services revenue in the world. Does this mean we have an industry that has reached maturity, and which will remain governed chiefly by regulatory provisions and structural shifts? Or is this a relative maturity, behind which is taking shape a new era of innovation for consumers, but also of uncertainty for industry's main players? What are the common features and the differences between the huge transformation of the wireline telephony market spurred by increasingly ubiquitous broadband and VoIP, and what is starting to take place with high-speed mobile access and the mobile Internet?

This dossier presents several papers offering an original view point on the various issues raised by Next Generation Networks. NGN is a term that is being increasingly used to describe the latest state-of-the-art networking platforms, which service providers are either developing or are using today. The industries have been riding the NGN wave, but at the same time have to square up some inescapable key issues, among them the evolution of the regulatory approaches, the adaptation of the business models, the effects on the competition patterns and the impact on the whole telecom industry. |

This special volume explores financial, regulatory, international, content and technological dimensions of the next generation of broadband - "ultrabroadband" - and the vast changes in mass media, consumer electronics, and information systems that it will drive. |

The state of deep crisis in which the global economy finds itself makes it all the more necessary to take stock of what has changed and what will appear as radically new once the crisis is over. This is why it struck us as particularly relevant to shed some light on the matter with a special dossier comprised of works that address the topics of Open innovation and Open platform strategies.

Bundling strategy analysis has become a major topic of Industrial Organisation research over the past twenty years. Bundling refers to the practice of marketing a package of at least two more or less distinct services, in set proportions. Our goal in choosing this topic for the latest issue of C&S was to take stock of recent developments on the bundling issue in economic literature, drawing on analysis of concrete situations that the ICT sector's leading players are now encountering. |

While addressing a classic issue already well explored by economists, this issue focuses on topics that are very much in the news. It includes original contributions from reputed experts in the field, and completed by Features which offer the more targeted and personally involved viewpoints of leading industry player representatives, along with an interview with a financial expert. |

Triple play offers a concrete illustration of the convergence between telecommunications, the internet and the media industry. It consequently raises a large number of questions regarding the strategies of various industry players and the viability of their business models, as well as regulatory frameworks and antitrust policies. This issue's Dossier provides a range of contributions that tackle these major questions. Following on from the Dossier are two papers chosen from a selection of the best contributions presented at the EURO CPR conference held in March in Seville. |

The enthusiasm for Web 2.0 demonstrated in recent months - both by daily visits to such sites on the part of millions of consumers and the value of certain transactions - raises several questions regarding the business models that are likely to make Web 2.0 a lasting phenomenon, changes in communication practices, as well as its impact on the strategy of traditional media players in advertising, software and telecommunications. This dossier presents several papers offering an original view point on the various issues raised by Web 2.0. |

In this issue we wanted to spotlight the Review of the European regulatory framework for electronic communications services. We welcome this as an opportunity to illustrate the role that we increasingly hope our journal will play by offering experts (economists, jurists, etc.) the chance to publish articles on topical sets of problems facing industry leaders and public decision-makers in the telecommunications, internet and media sectors. |

The payment industry has effectively seen significant growth, in which the ICT sector has undoubtedly played a major part. The recent growth of electronic commerce in particular has led various market players to gradually introduce methods of payment that enhance transaction flow. This development has modified competition conditions in the payment industry insofar as traditional banks are facing growing competition from non-banking companies. This issue propose original contributions that promote discussion and analysis of the key questions facing this industry. |

The first Transatlantic Dialogue was held in conjunction with the IDATE Conference on November 22nd 2005 in Montpellier, France. The dossier of this issue is based on the papers presented at this seminar. In this issue we concentrate on events in the United States as compared to Europe. We were particularly fortunate to have the cooperation and support of the Columbia Institute of Tele-Information (CITI), Columbia University, the University of Colorado and the International Telecommunications Society to help pull together the program and papers for this event. |

In this issue we have moved away from the mainly economic questions usually covered by our journal in favour of a dossier that examines usage. The Editors have selected research presentations made at a recent seminar on this topic for publication. The dossier is accompanied by an interview with Roger Silverstone conducted by David Osimo of IPTS. Following on from this dossier are two important articles that reflect the extent of ongoing changes in the telecommunications industry. |

The connectedness of developing countries has increased overall, notably thanks to the success of mobile services, and to set new priorities. The various articles selected offer an overview of the problems that have emerged. The dossier is accompanied by an interview with Calestous JUMA, which offers an original analysis of ICT growth in developing countries. This dossier is followed by our annual selection of the best papers presented at the last session of Euro CPR held in Berlin last March. |

This Dossier deals with the theme of telephone line unbundling, which emerged as a central driver in the debate over the liberalisation of the telecommunications markets and is currently a highly topical issue directly related to rapid changes in the telecommunications sector. |

This special issue focuses on the technological effervescence that is characteristic of the telecommunications sector in the all IP era. Such an approach has two implications. Firstly, the debate over regulation, which is the order of the day in the world's most advanced countries and their emerging counterparts, cannot be reduced to a debate of doctrines. Secondly, growth in the telecommunications sector was dominated for a number of years by growth in emerging economies. And, in many cases, it is these very countries that now stand to gain the most from cutting-edge technologies. |

This issue of C&S is devoted to analysis of the impacts of information and communications technologies (ICTs) on the environment in general, and more particularly on global warming and climate change. It is widely recognised that ICTs are important users of electrical energy and have direct impacts on climate change via their use of electrical energy generated from fossil fuels. Overall ICTs have made major strides in reducing their use of electricity and are among the most efficient devices in terms of performance / electricity use ratios, accounting for 2-3% of total energy use.

The massive increase in Internet traffic (of between 40% and 60% a year) is being sustained primarily by a huge increase in video viewing which, in all its forms, could account for 90% of all online traffic three years from now. It was with this effervescent market rife with unanswered questions in mind that we wanted to bring together several articles that would help sketch out what could be the new outlines of the television industry. |

Many carriers around the world are investing in high bit rate broadband infrastructure. It is common sense among experts that an FTTH network infrastructure will be the most capable and reliable network infrastructure for Next Generation Access.
This dossier presents the views of experienced authors who develop their thoughts on how Europe can close its current gap in fibre development and investment. We also have included papers on case studies on successful fibre projects in Europe. Furthermore, we present papers which will analyse the national broadband plans which have been developed by some European Governments to foster the deployment of NGA.
